How did you decide to start trying again?

Are you going to do treatments again??

I dont know if I can take the treatments again but Im already thinking about trying again.

But I also know the chances of me conceiving without treatments isnt good.  This shitisnt fair.

At 5 months we'lls tart without treatment, that give my uterus enough time to heal from a c-section, according to my doctor.

Assumming we won't get pregnant on our own, we'll try with our frozen guys at 10 months.

I know that i definitely would like another and i don't want to have regrets later.

I need treatments in order to get pg.  I can't imagine that sex could actually make a baby :P  I feel your pain!

So i am just going to suck it up and go at it again.  Looking back at DD i have absolutely no regrets about what it took to get her.  Why i am totally not looking forward to this road ahead (i think i could handle the shots and $$$)....it is its emotional toll that it takes on me and the "no guarentee".

I heard a saying one time that "you will never regret having children, but you might regret not having them" so i am going to apply this to #2.  I figure i have to at least try, right?

As soon as I got AF back after my son, we started "trying" on our own. I added opks a few months into it to make sure we had good timing. But we have MFI so I knew our chances were slim. Gotta try though, right? We went back to the RE when our son was a year and it took four IVF cycles to get pg for #2. GOOD LUCK to you!

Good luck to you RachMatt, what an exciting time that you're thinking about it again.

We were planning on starting at 3 months pp but that got pushed back. ?Tried a cycle that did not work. ?I am luck that the treatments really do not bother me. ?Tried to get into another cycle for two months and just decided to wait until July/Aug. ?For us, the longer we wait the worse my endo could potentially get. ?I am also 38, so my clock is ticking LOUDLY. ?Sometimes I feel pressured to start again by the things in my own head, but I know deep down that it is what we want and the longer we wait the more potential issues we could face. ?Good luck no matter what you decide

I have endo and PCOS too. We never did IVF but did 5 rounds of injectables, 9 rounds of Clomid, 3 rounds of Femara etc ad nauseum... in 3 years and 3 miscarriages.

I just dont know that I can go through that again. Its so frustrating but I never thought id make it through that first time either, ya know?

 

Thanks girls!

we knew we wanted them about two years apart.  we didnt really avoid when dd was born, but didnt actually see the RE again until 10 months or so.  it took me longer this time than last time.  i did 2 cycles with clomid, one with clomid, trigger and TI and then the last one we just did was IUI without the clomid and it has worked so far! 

 

good luck!  mentally i thought it was easier the second time around...and i knew when it wasnt going to work and this time i knew it worked.  it was weird.

we wanted our kids to be about 2 yrs apart... so we started when DS was about 16mos... and went right to the RE - b/c of my age and knowing I have PCOS I didn't want to waste time trying on our own at all.
